According to the cultural trade - off hypothesis, individualism and collectisim entail inverse costs and benefits for the two dimensions of global self - esteem. Specifically, individualism is described as promoting the development of self - competence but inhibiting the development of self - liking. Collectivism is described as doing the opposite. To examine the hypothesis, malaysian (colectivist) and british (individualist) students were compared on their self - liking and self - competence. Consistent with predictions, malaysians were significantly lower in self - competence when self - liking was held constant but were higher in self - liking when self - competence was held constant. The differences, however, were not reliable after statistically equating the cultural groups on two derived dimensions of individualism - collectivism - deference to the direction of relatives and connectedness to parents - suggesting that these dimensions might account for the trade - off in self - esteem.
